FUTURE POLKA Inspiring the next generation

“Polka is much more than a leading children’s theatre, it is a complete experience designed with children in mind. We have an amazing, chance-of-a-lifetime opportunity to redevelop Polka as a unique place of inspiration for children, artists and our community. Please support FUTURE POLKA and help us inspire future generations. Thank you.”

Peter Glanville, Artistic Director & Joint CEO

Support FUTURE POLKA

Give to the FUTURE POLKA appeal and help us inspire generations to come

40 years coming

We first opened our doors in 1979, pioneering Polka as the first theatre in the UK dedicated exclusively to children. Since then we have inspired and entertained over 3.5 million visitors, establishing an international reputation for setting new standards in children’s theatre. Now in our 40th year, we have a unique opportunity to re-imagine this unique space, improving our facilities for young audiences and their families for generations to come.

Polka is the place where theatre begins…

FUTURE POLKA plans

We are re-imagining what a dedicated children’s theatre could and should be for young audiences and their families. Following years of consultation, we are excited to share with you our FUTURE POLKA plans, imagining a vibrant hub for future generations at the heart of our community.
